Looking at the dramatic man still clinging onto his female like a giant leech, Xuan Long’s patience finally ran out.
He took one smooth, powerful step forward, raised his long leg, and casually kicked the dramatic, wrapped man straight across the room!
"Aah!" An Mo yelped as he tumbled across the thick beast rug.
Xuan Long completely ignored him, smoothly pulling Su Qinglan into his strong, warm embrace instead. He wrapped his arms securely around her waist, looking down into her bright eyes with intense tenderness.
"So... you really trust me that much, Lanlan?" Xuan Long asked, his deep voice carrying a soft, rare trace of vulnerability.
Su Qinglan bobbed her head up and down without a single second of hesitation, her smile radiating pure light. "Of course I do! I trust you more than anyone!"
Xuan Long’s emerald eyes filled with boundless love.
Unable to resist her sweet face, he leant down and pressed a deep, affectionate kiss right onto her soft lips.
Meanwhile, on the floor, An Mo had used his internal energy to quickly heal his superficial injuries. He frantically tore off the bulky, annoying bandages, eager to jump back into Su Qinglan’s attention.
But just as he ripped the final cloth from his neck, he froze. Xuan Long had pulled Su Qinglan away so fast that An Mo hadn’t managed to hide his throat in time!
Now completely unmasked, a very clear, dark, violent claw mark appeared right across An Mo’s fair, pale neck, looking precisely like someone had tried to strangle the life out of him.
Su Qinglan, who had just pulled back from Xuan Long’s kiss, happened to glance over. Her eyes widened in absolute horror as she stared directly at the dark purple mark on his throat.
"An Mo!" Su Qinglan gasped, rushing over to him in shock. "What happened to your neck?! Why is it so dark and red?!"
An Mo’s golden eyes flickered. He immediately put on the most pitiful, tragic, heartbroken face in existence. He slumped his shoulders, looking up at her with shimmering, misty eyes.
"Lanlan... you have no idea what I went through!" An Mo whimpered pitifully, grabbing the hem of her skirt.
"When I was flying back from the Upper Domain today, I was suddenly ambushed by a terrifying, vicious demon beast! The monster was so evil! He tried to strangle me to death right in mid-air! It took all of my strength, but I finally managed to beat him up and climb all the way back to your side!"
He dramatically wiped away a fake tear, casting a heavy, manipulating look directly at Xuan Long.
Xuan Long stood there with his arms folded, glaring coldly at the blatant lie. He let out a low, silent huff. But now that An Mo was officially a recognised member of their family, Xuan Long knew he couldn’t just throw him out of the window again. He had no choice but to let the dramatic idiot have his moment of pitiful lying.
Su Qinglan, however, was completely fooled by the tragic story. She gently stroked An Mo’s cheek, her heart aching for him. "Oh, my poor baby... you must have suffered so much today!"
Seeing her fall for his act hook, line, and sinker, An Mo secretly shot Xuan Long a smug, victorious wink from behind Su Qinglan’s back.
Xuan Long merely closed his eyes, shaking his head at the chaotic, hilarious life that awaited them all in this warm, snowy house.
